Section I. Designation of a site

Article 140.

§ 1.

The OVAM can designate a site based on soil contamination or potential soil contamination. The designation will be published in an extract in the Belgian Official Gazette.

§ 2.

The Government of Flanders can designate a site based on factors other than soil contamination or potential soil contamination, after recommendations from the OVAM on the soil contamination or potential soil contamination. Upon designation, a potential future use can be added, which will be published in an extract in the Belgian Official Gazette.

In this designation, stated in the first paragraph, the Government of Flanders can deviate from the rules, stipulated pursuant to Article 138. In that case, the Government of Flanders can determine that Article 141 is not applicable to the site.
